Topic: Dell Foundation

Michael Dell donated $35 million to Hurricane Harvey relief, sparking a discussion on celebrity philanthropy and public relations. A proposal is suggested for President Donald Trump to link disaster relief funding to his upcoming tax bill to gain bipartisan support. The absence of the Clinton Foundation in the Texas relief effort is also noted.

The proliferation of corporate non-profits, such as the Dell Foundation, is criticized for pressuring individuals to work for free to provide tax write-offs for large entities. A personal philosophy of being "straightforward and honest" when declining charitable requests is discussed. The hosts argue that many modern NGOs are more of a "lifestyle" for the organizers than a purely altruistic endeavor.
